Connect Twitch

Reading Twitch chat requires nothing. To send messages, receive events (subs, follows, channel points…), moderate and control your stream, you create a small free Twitch app — once, ~2 minutes.

1. Create the Twitch app

1. Go to dev.twitch.tv/console/apps/create (sign in with your Twitch account).
2. Fill in:
   • Name: whatever you like (e.g. “Streamly — my handle”).
   • OAuth Redirect URL: paste exactly http://localhost:4747/api/auth/twitch/callback
   • Category: Application Integration.
   • Client Type: Confidential.
3. Create the app, then grab the Client ID and generate a Client Secret (New Secret).

2. Paste the credentials into Streamly

In Connections → Twitch, paste the Client ID and the Client Secret. They’re stored encrypted locally and are only ever sent to Twitch.

3. Connect

Click Sign in with Twitch, approve access on the Twitch page. The token is saved and refreshes on its own.

No checkboxes on the app side

Unlike Kick, you have nothing to enable manually on the Twitch app: Streamly requests the necessary authorizations at connection time.

Requested permissions

At connection, Streamly asks for what it needs to: read and send chat, read channel points, followers, subscriptions, bits, the hype train, moderate (delete / timeout / ban), and control the stream (title / category / tags).

Good to know

• Twitch’s “go-live notification” can’t be changed via the API (only adjustable on Twitch). See Limitations.

After any change to permissions, remember the golden rule: disconnect then reconnect.
